I almost purchased a 19th century sofa, two armchairs and
two chairs at an open air antiques fair in Lublin. Lublin is the ninth largest
city in Poland. The antiques fair takes place on a monthly basis in a
picturesque Old Town, which is guarded by an imposing Cracow Gate, dating
from 14th-century. It was bitterly cold
when we visited, - 3°C, so after strolling alongside some interesting stands,
we opted for hot wine with cardamon, ginger and orange, in a nearby restaurant.
I decided to leave the vintage set to another punter, as I currently don`t have
enough space to host all five pieces, and didn`t want to break up this lovely collection. We
have - however - had a marvellous time in this city, and the warmth of its residents
more than compensated for the chilly weather.
What a beautiful Art Deco clock !
